Purpose and fitment for BMW X5 E70

The presented wiper arm has been specifically prepared for installation on the rear tailgate window of the BMW X5 E70. The design is matched to the body geometry, which allows for proper blade pressure against the glass and even water removal along the entire working length. As a result, the rear window wiping system maintains stable operating parameters, and the driver is ensured good visibility while reversing and driving in rain or snow.

Construction, color, and placement on the vehicle

The arm operates in the rear tailgate window area, which requires resistance to road dirt and variable atmospheric conditions. Its placement in the rear zone of the vehicle body makes it susceptible to salt, mud, and dust, which is why the construction is prepared for long-term operation in such an environment.

The neutral, black color of the arm blends well with the factory body components of the BMW X5 E70 without disrupting the vehicle's stylistic lines. At the same time, the matte finish reduces light reflections and improves visual consistency with other window equipment components.

Performance characteristics and installation advantages

The rear tailgate window wiper arm has been designed as a component working in the axis of the factory BMW wiper mechanism. The properly selected length and geometry of the arm allow for:

• stable guidance of the blade along the arc of the glass,
• even pressure across the entire working surface,
• reduction of vibrations and noise during operation,
• efficient removal of water and mud from the driver's field of view.

The component from the Wiper arms category is intended for direct cooperation with the factory drive mechanism, which facilitates installation and reduces the time required for replacement. The used condition of the part allows for economical repair of the wiping system while maintaining the original design and fitment for the specific model.

Identification parameters and technical compatibility

The rear tailgate window wiper arm is an original BMW component, which facilitates identification in service catalogs and selection for a specific vehicle equipment version. The part has an assigned OEM number and associated interchangeable numbers, allowing for precise verification of compatibility with your BMW X5 E70 without the need for aftermarket replacements.

Data such as the warehouse identifier, manufacturer information, and detailed reference markings are also available in the product description. This allows for a quick comparison with the markings on the removed part and minimizes the risk of selecting an incorrect wiper arm.

Practical application and additional information

Replacing the rear tailgate window wiper arm is recommended in situations where there is play in the mount, uneven blade pressure against the glass, skipping across the glass surface, or visible mechanical damage. Using an original arm in the BMW X5 E70 allows for restoring the proper operation of the wiping system without interfering with the drive mechanism's construction.
